George Vecsey of the NY Times, like me, has been an admirer of Joe Paterno - old Brooklyn ties, etc.
"Really, we need to do something about big-time college sports.
The horrendous scandal at the most prominent public college in Pennsylvania has been aided and abetted by the oppressive status of King Football.
Officials at Penn State did not want to know that, according to prosecutors, boys were being abused by a trusted member of the football family. Perhaps the subject was too queasy for them. Besides, it would get in the way of entertaining the masses, which is what the sport is for."
